How to Survive a Plane Crash
What are Your Chances?

1

Excellent, to be honest. Few people die in airplane crashes; the odds are many millions to one against your being involved in any sort of serious aircraft accident, and even if you are, your chances of surviving it are very high (96% of passengers survived all US aircraft accidents from 1983–2000). In the two years (2007–2008) prior to this writing, there were 17 million US domestic flights, carrying 1.5 billion passengers; there were no passenger fatalities. Air travel is by far the safest form of transportation (on a miles travelled basis), and that includes walking. It certainly includes driving, a truly dangerous proposition. Why read this essay, then? Because complacency is rarely prudent. And because of another surprising statistic: it’s widely estimated that as many as 30% of those who have died in airplane accidents could have survived if they’d responded better to the emergency. Should the unimaginable ever come to pass, wouldn’t you rather be one of that fortunate third? So the bottom line is clear: you’ll probably never be in an air accident of any kind, and you’ll probably be just fine if you are. But if you’re not, due attention paid to the measures discussed here can improve your survival odds by a staggering 30%.

Survive an Airplane Crash?
When most people conjure up images of plane crashes, they include massive fireballs, dense smoke clouds, crushed buildings, & scorched landscapes. And some crashes2 are like that, visually spectacular and emotionally indelible. Not all such crashes are 100% fatal, though, including that of the Air France A-340 that crashed in Toronto during a 2005 landing, when it overshot the runway, broke apart, and caught fire (as pictured at left). But all 309 passengers and crew survived. There are two morals to that particular crash. First, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” Believing that their flight had safely concluded, passengers on board began clapping once the plane had touched down. But some fifteen seconds later, things started to go terribly wrong. So always remain alert and prepared until after the plane has successfully slowed down to taxi speed. Second, never give up. Remind yourself that “I can survive and I will survive”, and do absolutely all that you can to ensure it, no matter how frightening the situation or how “certain” the outcome might appear. Should death ever stare you in the face, look back resolutely and without blinking.
